Public service is a public trust. Tax dollars are your dollars. As your Douglas County Commissioner, I will continue to work to reduce costs, reduce taxes, and improve services. I helped lead the voter approved 2016 Public Safety Bond. That bond is saving millions: updating the 911 system, the Fire Station Alert System, and county jail, and also renovating the Douglas County West Campus. All with no tax increase.
Common sense updates and consolidation improve services and reduce costs. Long-term planning and sensible budgeting will make things better now and for our children.

Key issue

If voters choose to trust me with this office, the first thing I’m going to focus on is communicating with and listening to the Second District. This position isn’t about me; it’s about the people of Douglas County. I haven’t spent a career in politics, but I have spent my life working hard to support my family and serving the communities I love. I pledge to keep an open door so I can take the time to really listen to families in the district and address their concerns with honesty and a dedicated work ethic.

Registration questions

Visit www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov to check whether you’re registered to vote and find your polling place. If you think you should be able to vote at a polling place but there’s a problem with the registration, request to fill out a provisional ballot. The election commission will collect them and then has a week to verify whether you are eligible to vote.
